[BRG75]

Thanks for your response, Arctic.

I think that your experience of early fans on later cars, ties in totally with what SD1too advised me of, when he vetted my original text. I covered it in para. 9, reproduced below :-

There is no known introduction / cut off date for the factory change, but it seems that both old and new design fans were factory fitted around 2002 and 2003. There are also reports to suggest that this continued to the end of production.

My thought was that the factory may well have been using up old / new stock.
I didn't mention that in the final draft, as it was only supposition on my part.

I should add that I'm a newbie as far as maintaining a 75 is concerned.
Indeed it is because I suspect that I have issues with my car's fan assembly, that I started to research the subject, resulting in the "how to" that I wrote; for my own benefit, initially.

Regards

Mike
